Hi my App Store keeps asking for my wife's login I have signed in and out but it is still not working any ideas. It is strange as I have never signed with her id before.

The Apple ID that is coming up on my App Store is my wife's but I am logged in under my own, I have logged out and back in but it is still logging in on hers can anyone help???

I am afraid all apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and are not transferable.
Your son have to buy those apps with his own Apple ID and start from scratch.

Mac App Store keeps asking for my wife's account to update software but she no longer has an account on my iMac.

My wife used to have an account on my iMac and then she deleted her account when she no longer needed it. Now I cannot update three software packages in the Mac App Store. Software update keeps telling me updates are available but when I try to update them, I get a message that I need to sign on using my wife's account and apple id. I am the only user on my iMac and I am an administrator. Why can't I update the software? I do not want to have to add my wife's account back on my iMac and I should not have to.

Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

My app store keeps asking for me to update my payment method as its about to expire so i enter my details and it keeps saying card declined , why is this ?

my iphone app store keeps asking me to update my payment method every time a go to download something from the store , it says my method is about to expire so when i re-enter my card information it keeps saying that my card is declined , why is this?

What sort of card are you trying to use ?
If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Why does app store keep asking for sercurity code

Why does the app store keep saying invalid sercurity code when I keep putting in the right code?

Hello!
It might sound strange at first, but it might be related to your cookie settings in Safari. To see if this is true, open Safari and proceed to the Safari prefences by clicking on the Safari menu - to the right of the classic apple-menu - and choosing Preferences.
Click the Privacy tab.
Make sure your cookie-preferences are NOT set to "never" or "block always"
Set to your preferred cookie option, restart your computer once, and see if your issue has been resolved.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List

App store keeps asking for old owner's password when I try to download updates, even though I am logged into my Apple account. It won't allow me to change ID to mine.

I bought a used iMac recently, and sometimes the app store asks for the user password of the previous owner (and displays former owner's ID). It won't allow me to change ID to mine, even though I am signed into store with my own account (and this is shown in dropdown menu). How can I make the store recognize my ID for downloads?

It is showing updates because your machine is tied to the original purchase and will remain so until you wipe the drive.
As you purchased it used and the seller obviously did not do what he was supposed to do and that is erase the hard drive and reinstall the original system, you will run in to far more difficult problems when you need to reinstall for whatever reason. The new licensing requirements are that any mac is sold with the original OS - any OS or app obtained at the app store is NOT transferable and the buyer needs to purchase their own license. That means you will not be able to reinstall the OS.
At some point, you will need to try to get either the original install disks (from the seller or Apple) and wipe your drive and reinstall. Then you can download your own licensed copy of Mavericks and any apps you want.

ITunes and App Store keep asking for password.

If I log into the Mac App Store or iTunes to purchase an app/song I get prompted for a username and password, as expected; but then it just keeps asking. If I type in a purposly wrong password it will tell me it's wrong, but when I put in the correct one it seems to take it but the dialog just pops up again. This occurs on my MacBook Pro, my iMac and my MacPro. This also happens if I try to 'view account'. Every now and again I will break through this loop and see my account details, but if I try to change something, say my purchase methode, I get 'session timed out'.
I can log into the website just fine, I know the password is good.
Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem. When I open iTunes I kept getting a "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the Itunes Store at this time. Please try again later." error message. I also couldn't update my apps. I was able to stop the messages by signing out. Unfortuantely, I can't sign in now. I don't get an incorrect password message, though. Instead I get the same error message.
I then I tried updating my apps on my iPod Touch but then I get a "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" error message.
So, like you I think the problem is on their end. Hopefully, it's just a temporary glitch. I'm going to go my favorite coffee shop and see if I can download there.
Thanks,
Brian

App store keeps asking for my credit card info for free apps!??

Every time I go to get a free app, I keep getting asked for my credit card info to be updated. If it's free, why is my credit card info needed!?? I don't want to get charged, so I cancel out of the credit card request, it's not worth trying to get unwanted charges taken off. I would write to Apple but for some strange reason they refuse to use email for help. So, guess I will just try here.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello All,
Even I do faced same issue on my iphone 5 recently, because I had updated my credit card details while purchasing 'whats app'. Later on if I try do down load free apps, it started asking me verify payment info..I got frustrated and tried to remove apple id and create the same id and reset networksettings, but issue not resolved.!!
Possible scenarios of it occures:
1. While creating your apple id you might have given credit card info an dlater that got modified/expired
2. Once you buy anything by using credit card that info will be updated to your apple id, so it asks every time
Resolution:
Just remove your credit card details from payment information
setting > icloud > account > payment information -- remove ur credit card info , done done
Then try to download free app, it will only asks for apple password, It will not ask for 'payment verification'
Thank you
Krish

Did "everything" include this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275, which says:
Error 23, 28, 29, 40, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1611: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article and also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. If the MAC address is missing or the IMEI is the default value (00 499901 064000 0), this can also confirm a hardware issue.

App Store keeps asking me to download update for "Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client

Hi, the App Store keeps asking me to download the update Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client so I am unsure why it is asking me to and worry that someone is trying to spy on me! Does anyone know why this is? Thanks in advance!

I find it interesting that since Screen Sharing is available, and works "just fine" that a Remote Desktop Client would be needed to be installed.
I installed it, but I'm not sure why.
I found the updated application in /System/Library/Core Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
Which is also where the screen sharing and vnc bundles live. I clicked on it to see what would happen -- nothing.
I found these ports in another discussion
TCP and UDP port 3283
TCP and UDP port 5900. (Also used for Screen Sharing in OSX 10.5 and later)
port 22
This page confirms their use along with the use of other ports:
TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support
Additionally TCP port 5432 is used by ARD
Having recently noticed (through "network utility" that my computers have had a "ton" of open connections.
This severely hurt system performance.
I note that neither my Airport Express nor my Mac can set up a firewall on these ports.
While I haven't noticed the ARD ports being used, I cannot help but wonder if this is set up for a CIA/NSA backdoor into my computers.
On a less paranoid level, perhaps Apple is planning on adding on-line help to debug our problems in "real-time". ;-)
